"A Favorite Pinot Noir Favorite two magnificent vineyards on the estate in the heart of the Wairau and Omaka Valley!"
The 2016 vintage (5*) was aged on the estate in the Raupo Creek and Tatou vineyards. Harvested by hand, it was aged for one year in French oak barrels (7% of which were new), then aged for a further six months in oak barrels before being bottled without fining or filtration. It has a rich, brilliant color and a ripe, fragrant bouquet. On the palate, it is a well-structured wine with concentrated, vibrant aromas of cherry, plum, and spice. It is complex and flavorful, with fresh acidity and a fairly firm finish." (Michael Cooper's New Zealand Wine Review) • Screw cap

About wine:
Bright crimson. Sweet, floral nose with a much softer palate than the 2017 Leah. Texture still a little lively. Some harshness on the finish. 2022-2027
